Adding Markus since he helped me with a similar issue before that showed 
up entirely differently around last year. I had an alias that basically 
does the following to build a kernel using buildroot:

make DESTDIR=/path/to/tftp/$KVER linux-reconfigure all install -j48

down the road in buildroot this ends-up building the kernel. The first 
time I had a problem this is what happened:

ff944844@stbirv-lnx-2:/local/users/fainelli/buildroot/output/arm64$ make V=1

we would basically end-up in an endless syncconfig make recipe and there 
would be no forward progress. Markus had done a great job at identifying 
that the problem, and he provided the following:

* The problem DOES happen with GNU make 4.4.1 and Linux 5.4 (and,
presumably, older kernels)
* The problem does NOT happen with GNU make 4.4 or older, irrespective
of the kernel version
* The problem also does NOT happen with Linux 5.15 (and, presumably
newer), irrespective of the GNU make version

So, this would seem to be some feature / change that was introduced in
GNU make that the kernel build system subsequently accounted for. Or
it could be independent changes where the kernel build system changed
first and GNU make changed later; 4.4.1 was only tagged on February
26, 2023.

And eventually he tracked it down to two commit of you, one in GNU Make:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=a275f4e9ab14

and an innocent Linux change that ended up "fixing" the issue:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=77342a02ff6e

Sure enough, the machine on which I had the issue I reported to you with 
the dtbs-list being empty still used the old alias for building a kernel.

I would like to give you a minimal reproducer, because it seems like 
there is a genuine issue that just shows up in unexpected ways here. The 
key thing is really specifying a DESTDIR variable on the make command 
line of buildroot, which eventually makes it to Linux's build system and 
breaks in unexpected ways.

Thanks!
